AB 2778: California Environmental Quality Act: lead agency.

The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requires a lead agency, as defined, to prepare, or cause to be prepared, and certify the completion of an environmental impact report on a project that it proposes to carry out or approve that may have a significant effect on the environment or to adopt a negative declaration if it finds that the project will not have that effect. CEQA defines lead agency to mean the public agency that has the principal responsibility for carrying out or approving a project that may have a significant effect upon the environment.

This bill would make technical, nonsubstantive changes to those provisions.
